For children and younger teens, we have found that it is very helpful to involve parents/caregivers in treatment (this can range from brief check-ins to full sessions) so that they can support what a child is learning and help maintain treatment gains long term. Parent participation for older teen clients can be discussed with the clinician and may vary based on that teen’s needs and teen and parent preference. With parent permission, we are also happy to work with school psychologists and guidance counselors, teachers, and other treatment providers.
